First report of Triatoma sordida Stål, 1859 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in the State of Acre and Brazilian Western Amazon

Abstract

The occurrence of T. sordida in Acre is of concern since it is among the most captured triatomines in peridomiciliary environments in Brazil, and carries a high potential for vector transmission.

First report of Panstrongylus lignarius (Walker, 1873) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in the State of Acre, Brazil

“…This new report of P. lignarius extends the geographic distribution of this species to eight Brazilian states (Figure 3), while also increasing the number of triatomine species described from the state of Acre from nine 11 15 ), and now three of the genus Panstrongylus (P. geniculatus Latreille, 1811 6 , P. megistus Burmeister, 1835 11 , and P. lignarius).…”

Retrospective study of the epidemiological overview of the transmission of Chagas disease in the State of Acre, South-Western Amazonia, from 2009 to 2016

“…Several studies show that most outbreaks of acute Chagas disease are associated with açaí [36][37][38][39] , which is the main food responsible for the increase in the number of cases of Chagas disease in the North region in recent years, whether due to fruit or pulp contamination by means of waste from the infected triatomines in the endemic areas 40 , which have already been registered in the state with the occurrence of the following species: Rhodnius robustus 29 , Rhodnius pictipes 29 , Rhodnius montenegrensis 41 , Rhodnius stali 16 , Rhodnius neglectus 42 , Eratyrus mucronatus 13 , Panstrongylus geniculatus 12 , Panstrongylus megistus 43 and Triatoma sordida 44 .…”

First report of Panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in the State of Acre and Rondônia, Amazon, Brazil

“…In the states of Acre and Rondônia, five species of triatomines are described: Rhodnius montenegrensis (Rosa et al, 2012;Meneguetti et al, 2015), Rhodnius robustus (Barata et al, 1988;Massaro et al, 2008), Rhodnius pictipes (Barata et al, 1988;Massaro et al, 2008), Panstrongylus geniculatus (Massaro et al, 2008;Gurgel-Gonçalves et al, 2012) and Eratyrus mucronatus (Meneguetti et al, 2011;Obara et al, 2013), while Rhodnius stali (Meneguetti et al, 2016), Rhodnius neglectus (Ramos et al, 2018a) and Triatoma sordida (Ramos et al, 2018b) are only found in Acre and Rhodnius milesi (Massaro et al, 2008) and Panstrongylus lignarius (Terassini et al, 2017) the state of Rondônia.…”
